I Choose
Love... No occasion justifies hatred -- no injustice warrants
bitterness.
I Choose Love... Today I will love God and
what God loves.
I Choose Joy.... I will invite my God to
be the God of circumstance. I will refuse temptation to be
cynical... the tool of the lazy thinker. I will refuse to see
people as anything less than human beings, created by God. I will
refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to
see God.
I Choose Peace... I will live forgiven. I will
forgive so that I may live.
I Choose Patience... I will
overlook the inconveniences of the world, Rather than
complaining that the wait is too long. I will thank God for a
moment to pray, instead of clinching my fist at a new
assignments, I will face them with joy and courage.
I
Choose Kindness... I will be kind to the poor, for they are
alone. Kind to the rich, for they are afraid. And kind to the
unkind, for such is how God has treated me.
I Choose
Goodness... I will go without a dollar before I take a dishonest
one. I will see the good in others when it is hard to find. I
will confess before I will accuse, I choose goodness.
I
Choose Faithfulness... Today I will keep my promises. My debtors
will not regret their trust. My associates will not question my
word.My wife will not question my love, and my children will
never fear that their father will not come home.
I
Choose Gentleness... Nothing is won by force, I choose to be
gentle. If I raise my voice, may it be only in praise. If I
clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may
it be only of myself.
I Choose Self-Control... I am a
spiritual being. After this body is dead, my spirit will soar, I
refuse to let what will rot the eternal.
I Choose
Self-Control... Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness,
Goodness,
Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control... To
these I commit my day, If I succeed. I will give thanks. I will
seek God's face. And then when this day is done, I will place my
head on my pillow and rest.
